Latest market share figures from IDC show that Android accounted for 75% of all the smartphones sold in the third quarter of the year. The figure represents a 17.5% increase from the same period last year, as well as a massive 91.5% increase in shipments, up to a record 136 million for the quarter.

iOS is lagging behind in second place, with a small increase to 14.9%, although the continued expansion of the smartphone market meant that the company still managed to increase its sales by more than 57%.

BlackBerry and Symbian continued their fall into the abyss, with 34% and 77% decline in sales respectively, while Windows Phone more than doubled its market share, but has a very long way to go with just 2% of the market.
